7 Tips for Using Decorative Screens

Harris Marcus Home Three Panel Leather Library ScreenA decorative screen is a great way to add interest and new style to a room. They come in a wide range of visual looks, and can be used for a variety of functions. Here are some of our favorite tips for using decorative room screens.

1) Place a screen in an awkward corner with an uplight behind it to create a cool lighting look.

2) Divide or section a room with a screen, such as using a screen to hide a messy office desk. The Three Panel Library screen looks great in an office setting.

3) Use behind a mattress/boxspring as a headboard. If you do this be sure to securely mount the screen to the wall.

5) Use a screen in place of closet doors. If you're a DIY'er, you can even mount a screen on a sliding door mechanism.Try this hardwood Red Chamber screen to add warmth and texture.

6) Handpainted screens serve as room artwork and can add a burst of color and texture to a space.

7) Use one to create an entry space or foyer where there is none.
